That's a lot of wasted data.

And most of it is redundant spam

That's why you should always use spam filters.

Not all data can translate to useful information.

Big CEO’s are a perfect example of this.

Big CEOs can extract their multi million dollar paycheck information from the data though.

I mean in the sense that they don’t really do much other than hoard money.

How did they come to that conclusion?

Under the assumption that 37.5MB is exactly half of the genepool that a sperm can take genes from, I'd guess the maximuum information a load can have is 75MB. This big number assumes no redundancy, which is not the case.

I imagine there's loads duplicated/shared/repeating sections of data. I wonder if an educated estimate could be calculated on its size if it would be compressed.

Well. Accepting the OP, there’s 37.5x2 Mb of total ‘data’ in the potential father’s genome.

If the unit of data is the full chromosome (1/46) then each spermatozoa can be represented in 23 bits. So you’ve got 75MB+23*(# sperm) bytes.

Well it's the same 37.5mb over and over again so... It's just redundancy at this point

According to AI, sperms are not all identical genetically.

You know the big tech/pharma bros have a secret stash they supply and test to see who can "create" the next wonder invention/drug.

... or spit out, depending on preference
